TechWave Solutions has a five-year contract with MegaCorp to provide cybersecurity services. A rival company, SecureNow Inc., deliberately contacts MegaCorp's key decision-makers, offering them better terms and falsely claiming that TechWave is planning to discontinue its services due to financial difficulties. As a result, MegaCorp decides not to renew its contract with TechWave. What claim is TechWave Solutions most likely to assert against SecureNow Inc.?
TechWave Solutions is most likely to assert a claim for intentional interference with business relations. This tort occurs when a third party intentionally disrupts a business relationship through wrongful means, leading to economic harm. The false claims made by SecureNow Inc. directly impacted TechWave's business relationship with MegaCorp. The other options, such as defamation or negligence, do not specifically address the purposeful disruption of business relationships.
